On average, 21,000 skilled and experienced people leave the armed forces every year, many looking to enter the civilian workforce. As highly trained individuals with a range of transferrable skills, including leadership, teamwork and communication, veterans make capable and committed employees.
Veterans are comparatively under-represented in the workforce and working age veterans are nearly twice as likely to be unemployed as civilians.
Creating meaningful employment is one of the most significant ways that business contributes to the livelihoods of individuals and communities. Business in the Community (BITC) have a range of resources to help your business develop a skilled and inclusive workforce.
